North Attleborough schools launch searches after two principals depart; assistant superintendent post opened
Summary
District officials announced the retirement of Amvet School principal and the resignation of Martin School principal, launched concurrent searches to fill both posts, and opened applications for an assistant superintendent role with a March 21 deadline and target hires before the July 1 school-year start.
A staff member for North Attleborough Public Schools said the district has launched searches to replace two elementary principals and has opened an application period for an assistant superintendent position, after Amvet School principal Alex Simonello told the district he will retire at the end of the school year and Martin School principal Jen Evans resigned.
The announcement said the search committees for the two principal positions will meet next Tuesday to screen candidates, with semi-finalist interviews scheduled the following week on Tuesday and Wednesday in March (exact dates not specified). Finalists will be invited to spend a full day in the schools to meet parents, staff and the leadership team; references will be checked before appointments are made.
The district began advertising the assistant superintendent opening after Michelle McQueer was named superintendent of Mansfield Public Schools. Applications for the assistant superintendent position are due March 21, the staff member said, and the district hopes to complete that search by the first or second week of April. The district noted July 1 as the target date for new leadership to be in place for the coming school year.
District officials described the searches as intended to be “thorough and inclusive,” with smaller screening committees likely for the assistant superintendent post. No candidate names beyond those already announced were provided, and no formal votes or final appointments were recorded during the update.
Next steps listed by the staff member include screening by the committees, semi-finalist interviews in mid-March, in-district finalist visits and reference checks; specific calendar dates for interviews and final hiring decisions were not specified.
